121st Overlord's Edict

Post by Delahada »

After having torn down Hope's Rules, the following notice was tacked up in its place.

Sal says this is how things are going to go while he's at the top.

1 Loyalty, like respect, will be earned. All new barons upon winning their titles will be Renegade. Nearly no exceptions.*
  1. If you wish to align Loyal, you must first petition for it and then face me in the ring, win or lose. Only after you fight me will I accept your change in alignment.
  2. If you declare Loyalty before completing the above process, I will immediately banish you to Renegade. Cowardice will not be tolerated.
  3. Loyal barons who defect to Renegade must complete the same process above if wishing to return to their Loyal alignment at a later time.
  4. Current Renegade barons must also fight me, again, before I will accept a petition to change alignment to Loyal.
  5. *Newly added exception: if you fight me in a tournament that awards a barony, you may align Loyal without having to complete the above process.

2. Strength and courage are preferable. I expect you to fight your own battles, but if you ask me nicely I will issue a Test of Worthiness on challengers to Loyal barons, where applicable.
  1. I don’t play favorites. I will test anyone if it is asked of me.
  2. Or get yourself an active Squire and let them do it for you.
  3. If you challenge me and I don't like you, I will test you.

3. There is no official beverage of the Arena. Drink whatever the hell you want.
  1. If Eden Parker is in the Arena, you must buy her a Cherry Coke, if she wants.
  2. If Gren Blockman is in the Arena, you must buy him a Broot, if he wants.
  3. If Rekah Illyriana is in the Arena, you must give her all your candy, and maple syrup.
  4. If the Gatito is in the Arena, you’ll buy him whatever the hell he wants.
  5. If you insist on being a kiss ass, I drink Badsider, Tequila, or Pacharán. Get it right.

4. During my reign the Overlord Isle will be open to the public. Visitors are encouraged and will be ferried regularly to and from the island aboard the Overlord’s Yacht.
  1. Word has it that the mansion doubles as a museum; check it out.
  2. The Duel of Swords has a rich history; learn you some.
  3. School field trips are welcome and completely free of charge.
  4. No, I will not give personal tours.
  5. I likely won't even be there. Ever.

5. No stupid nicknames. My name is Salvador. You may call me by my name, shorten it to Sal, or refer to me as Overlord. That's it.
  1. If you call me anything else, I will gut you.
  2. If you're a Loyal baron, I might even banish you.
  3. Watch your mouth.
  4. Exception: Tippletoe may call me Surly-Scary-Sal.

*These rules shall be revised and expanded upon the Overlord’s whim.

This is why he is Surly-Scary-Sal!

It's the most gnmoish gnickname I can give him without losing my eyeballs, heart and spleen!
